Manor Lords is the long-awaited city-builder strategy from Hooded Horse and Slavic Magic, which will be set in Europe during the 14th century. Players can expect an extremely detailed and authentic world inspired by medieval settings, with many options and possibilities that are characteristic of this genre.

Manor Lords currently holds the top spot on Steam's Most Wishlisted Games list, and the publisher, Hooded Horse, recently shared an interesting milestone on social media. Just a week before release, Manor Lords reached 2.5 million wishlists. Players will start as a lord from the lowest levels of the medieval social hierarchy, from a camp in the middle of the forest all the way up to building a mighty city with a large military force. There is a micro-management mechanic in Manor Lords that allows for fine-tuning, which is perfect for builders who enjoy getting into the subtleties of their creations.

From managing trade routes to conquering neighboring regions, and from building your settlement to ensuring the happiness of your citizens, Manor Lords offers plenty of standard and innovative features. One of the most fun features is the player's ability to walk around the city as the lord of the castle, observing the activities of his subjects.

Furthermore, we'll have access to abundance of resources that we'll explore and gather, along with the construction of various structures and roads with the advancement of economic aspects. Engagements with bandits and rival clans seeking to seize our territories and resources also lie ahead. These conflicts will unfold in real-time, and we'll also contend with diseases, wilderness, and unforgiving weather conditions dictated by the changing seasons.

Manor Lords releases in the Early Access phase on April 26 via Steam and the Microsoft Store, and will also be available on PC Game Pass. A version for Xbox Series X/S is also being prepared, but it will come to other consoles and Xbox Game Pass later.
